The Innovation Task Force
Foster innovation by integrating key stakeholders to identify and demonstrate emerging solutions that increase security effectiveness and efficiency, improve passenger experience and the flow of commerce, and deliver solutions that secure the freedom of movement throughout the nation’s transportation system.
Convene the aviation security ecosystem to identify and demonstrate solutions
Collaborate Demonstrate AssessEstablish the capability for TSA to quickly demonstrate innovative solutions
Measure solution effectiveness to achieve the optimized future state and provide vendors with data to improve solutions
Founded in 2016, ITF was initiated and championed by TSA out of a need heard from industry to better understand the operational environment earlier in the development cycle and from TSA to better define requirements to close capability gaps in partnership with stakeholders.

ITF Primary Activity
Deploy & Support
To demonstrate emerging capabilities across the transportation security ecosystem in partnership with stakeholders and support TSA’s broader goal to advance, innovate, and adapt.
To diversify the industrial base and provide industry increased access to operational data, which allows vendors to mature solutions that will meet TSA needs.
To solicit mature people, process, andtechnology solutions to be rigorously evaluated and demonstrated in a live operational environment, advancing security and driving requirements.

Checkpoint Screening Solutions
On-PersonRequirements and Capabilities Analysis (RCA) is coordinating with various stakeholders and manufacturers to improve TSA’s on-person screening capability for a future, diverse screening environment that may leverage multiple screening methods per passenger risk.QPL Development

Next Generation Demonstrations
Checkpoint CTTo meet emerging and evolving threats related to the aviation transportation sector, TSA must pursue sustained technology for checkpoint screening. The most impactful and suitable technology available today is the Computed Tomography (CT) technologies.
CT systems with a rotating x-ray gantry take helical scans of items to produce 3D images can be manipulated 360 degrees by the system operator.

Innovative Checkpoint Design and ACE
The Checkpoint Requirements and Planning Guide (CRPG) provides information for airports to design and build for the future processes of screening, the improvement of today’s passenger experience, and the flexibility to adapt to the checkpoint of tomorrow.
TSA is pioneering change in the transportation security ecosystem in collaboration with McCarran International Airport (LAS). LAS has
dedicated an open checkpoint space to ITF for the purpose of demonstrating innovative solutions. This will be accomplished
through collaboration with local TSA and LAS to house and accelerate the demonstration of multiple innovative capabilities.
Checkpoint Requirements and Planning Guide
Advancing the Checkpoint EnvironmentCurrently installed at ACE are CT units, ASLs, WTMDs, and AITs, with more equipment to come.
